James Gunn denies rumours about Superman sequel changes
Director James Gunn addressed false claims regarding Skydance executives viewing Man of Tomorrow and altering the film on Threads.
Gunn refutes circulation stories
James Gunn took to Threads to address circulating rumours about the Superman sequel. He stated that many untrue stories are currently going around regarding the project. Gunn specifically denied that Skydance executives have seen Man of Tomorrow yet. He wrote that no one from Skydance has viewed the movie at all. No one besides Peter Safran and a tiny circle of close friends and relatives has viewed it.
Release date remains unchanged
Gunn confirmed he is not entirely leaving DC Studios despite the leadership shakeup. He remains involved in the post-production work for Man of Tomorrow currently. The film is scheduled to release theatrically on July 9, 2027 according to Gunn. Reports claimed Skydance might drop the theatrical release and send the film to HBO Max. Gunn called any stories around this narrative false because the theatrical plan stands.
Skydance acquisition context
The rumours began after Skydance acquired Warner Bros as the new owner of DC. Executives from the company were alleged to have watched the upcoming DC film before making decisions. The exit of James Gunn was linked by rumour to unhappiness over movie quality. These claims contradict the director's direct statement that sweeping changes are not being made.
